Mangia Fresca

You're the boss at this family-friendly Italian BYOB in Bridgeport: Pick your pasta and then choose a sauce to create an affordable dinner for about $5; add grilled meats or fresh veggies for a bit more. Other options include fresh salads, soups and hearty panini such as the Italiano (capicola, Genoa salami, mortadella, fresh mozzarella, basil and olive oil). Don't miss the arancini (translation: little oranges), a Sicilian appetizer made out of rice that's shaped into a ball, covered in breadcrumbs and deep fried. Business tends to focus on carryout and delivery, but there's also ample seating indoors and out.
